  1. Should it even matter, since the seller admitted what he did?
  2. I hope you got this at a significant discount to the sticker price.
  3. I think we're all going to have different opinions on what's obvious and what isn't.
  4. Dan Slott did a signing in NYC the day the book came out. He posted on Twitter what is now his only slab; an SS-copy that he bought from the store, signed, and submitted. He has big plans for the character.
  5. Is there some obscure variant or error (Direct Edition; not a Newsstand) to Wolverine #1 (1988) that would make a 9.0 worth over $300?
  6. Welcome to the boards! Bookmark this: https://www.cgccomics.com/account/my-submissions/tracking/ When your submission is checked in, it will show up here as received. When they start pressing, it will show as "CCS in Process (or Progress)" as Lightning mentioned. When that's done and it goes to grading, it will show as received by CGC. And then updates again as it goes through the grading process.
  7. Sweet. Key Collector is still calling this a cameo, but the sequence he's in is multiple pages, so I think it's fine to call it a full appearance. Ebon is teased in issue 6 of Season One, but it's basically just his voice in the shadows. Still a good pickup though, since I'm sure there are fewer of those than Shadows of Dakota #1.
  8. If I was looking to flip, I wouldn't be picking out a lot of mid-run Milestones.
  9. To be fair, many of the books he had definitely weren't dollar bin books. He had a copy of Static 1 Platinum, 2 copies of Static 45, and other late-run books that tend to sell for a bit more. But many of those books weren't bagged and/or showed damage. But a lot of the books that I was interested in were earlier-run, non-key books, many of them not in top condition, that I wasn't expecting to be more than $2-3 each. Which I would have happily paid to have the books as placeholders until I found better copies.
  10. What is "JC" (I'm assuming not Joker's Child, since you said to avoid it)? I did go to Main Street as well. I've mainly been hunting Milestone books, and they did have a longbox in storage which they let me flip through. They had a number of tough-to-find books, but they weren't in the best condition, and they did their pricing based on eBay asking prices. Even for common non-keys, they said the prices were going to be about 10/book (for books that are basically dollar-bin books).
  11. I've been through NJ a few times in recent months, and I've tried to hit up some comic shops each time to hunt for stuff. Another NJ shop I'd add tot he list is the Joker's Child. They're a little OCD about their back issues, asking if you take a book out of the bins that you don't want, to leave it on top of the books rather than putting it back. That helps them keep everything alphabetized perfectly, which helps find stuff quickly. Paradox Comics had a decent number of back issues as well.
  12. Now I'm curious. There was a small indy book in the '90s with the same name, and by the looks of it, the same logo. I wonder if someone connected to the store published the book. https://www.amazon.com/Wonder-Old-Town-comic-book/dp/B0765ZV4JM
  13. Maybe they still include that in the SS section of the census, since it's both Qualified and SS?
  14. They're still there. I dropped in a few months ago; that's my neighborhood. Midtown's outlet store is also in the neighborhood, but they're only open on weekends, and the majority of their back issues are discount bin books. I too dropped by Mysterious Time Machine a few months ago, only to find them gone. With rent so high, most NYC stores don't carry a ton of back issues.
  15. I have a complete run of all of the original Milestone titles. They're really good reads, but with all of the new universes that popped up in the '90s, there was a lot to choose from. Since their focus was on minority characters, created predominantly by minority creators, I think a lot of people may have passed on them thinking they were being created for minority readers, but as a white guy from the suburbs, I had no problem finding the characters relatable. Since Static was a teen hero, I imagine the reading experience was similar to what readers got out of Spider-man when he was a new character in the '60s. They recently rebooted the line, publishing "Season One" minis of the original four Milestone titles (Static, Hardware, Icon, and Blood Syndicate). The second Static mini (Shadows of Dakota) and an Icon vs. Hardware mini are in-progress right now. At the time the original line was canceled, monthly sales numbers were only around 5000 copies or so, so a lot of those later Milestone books are tough to find, especially if you're looking for them in top condition.
  16. No connection other than the same name.
  17. All issues of Agents of WORLDE (including the ashcan and variants) are available on Scout's website. https://www.scoutcomics.com/collections/chaos-agent
  18. Could be. I just compiled the ones I'm aware of. I don't know if it's complete.
  19. Batman Vol.3 #124 Dark Knights of Steel #8 DC vs. Vampires #12 Deathstroke Inc. #10 Harley Quinn Vol.4 #31 Knight Terrors: Superman #1 Agent of W.O.R.L.D.E. #1-4 Nature's Labyrinth #1-6 (and it looks the Trade Paperback will have a different cover)
  20. I am very happy with my Milestone Platinum superfecta.
  21. If you want to take the risk that a dropshipper is going to buy something from you to send to someone else, claiming the condition is better than you said it was, then go ahead. I stated the reason why I'm going to block that eBayer; everyone can make their own decision.
